Ask
Campaign
The milestone under program A (Freedom of
Expression) during SPP1 has been the piloting of Access to Information
Legislation
through the ASK Campaign . The piloting
of the ASK campaign has been carried out in seven countries in the SADC region.
Mixed results have been achieved, thus the program area will undergo some
refocusing and re-sharpening.

In Zambia, a new dimension to the program emerged
where the campaign for adoption of an Access to Information legislation
will be closely tied to the campaign
to review the Zambian constitution.The chapter will aggressively deal with
issues relating to constitutional guarantee of press freedom and free expression.
This came about as a result of calls for a new constitution for Zambia where
civil society has been calling for the establishment of a constituent assembly
to adopt a new constitution.
In Swaziland the issue of constitutionalism is also placed high on the agenda.
The campaign to repeal unfriendly laws will also enjoy high priority among chapters.
The campaign to have access to information legislation adopted in SADC countries
within SPP2 will be carried out. Further information click
